Afghanistan has tried to

saffron to wean them

farming — the lifeblood

farmers to switch to
other cash crops such as

enough evidence to prove anything and I
should just keep quiet about it because I
and the school could be sued for slander
if I went public with my experience. It
was really silencing because when I was
being assaulted it was that stereotypical
line of "let's keep this between me and
you." And then when I found the courage
to come out with out I was told again
"let's keep this quiet." So for me too, it
was a way to have a voice and it was a
way for me to see that I'm not the only

women all around the world have all

TERRORIST TRUCK ATTACK SHOCKS
NEW YORK CITY
by NBC NEWS
A truck driver entered a bike path in lower Manhattan, hitting
pedestrians and cyclists which resulted in multiple deaths and
injuries.
Bicycles and debris lay on a bike path
after a motorist drove onto the path
near the World Trade Center memorial,
striking and killing several people on
Oct. 31, 2017, in New York.
At least eight people were killed and
several others were injured in what New
York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called “a
particularly cowardly act of terror.”
The 29-year-old driver was shot by
police after jumping out of the truck
with what turned out to be a fake gun in
each hand, officials said. He was taken
into custody. His condition was not
immediately disclosed.

A century after the Russian
Revolution, the influence of its leader
Vladimir Lenin has waned but his
image remains on monuments built
across the former Soviet Union as
part of a cult of personality.
Lenin was born in 1870 and became
one of the 20th century's most
important leaders as the revolution
inspired by Karl Marx transformed
Russia and influenced Socialists
around the world for decades.

A monument to Lenin stands at a park of the Siberian town of Uzhur in Krasnoyarsk region.
As the first leader of the one-
party communist state, Lenin
redistributed land and
nationalised industry and banks
in a bid to champion the working
class. He also used violence on a
wide scale to crush perceived
opponents of his Marxist
ideology.
When he died in 1924, Soviet
authorities displayed his body in
a mausoleum in Moscow's Red
Square where it lies to this day.

President Donald Trump’s announcement
last week that he intends to reduce the size
of two national monuments covering
millions of acres of Utah wilderness has
stoked local divisions over land use, with
all sides anticipating a protracted battle
over the move.
On one side, Native American groups and
environmentalists expressed anger and are
ready to sue the U.S. government. On the
other, conservative-leaning residents
welcomed the decision, seeing it as a
reversal of government overreach and a
boost for traditional industries like drilling,
mining and grazing.

But the tensions reflect a broader
national debate over how to manage
America’s vast open spaces. Since
taking office, Trump has promised to
increase development on federal
lands.
"The polarization is so complete that
no one is migrating to the center," said
Steve Simpson, who owns a cafe and
trading post in Bluff, where pro-
monument signs are posted along the
main street.

In late October, Trump informed Utah lawmakers of his intention
to shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante
monuments after a review he had launched of 27 monuments
created by past presidents that placed vast tracts off-limits to
business.
It was an opening salvo in a fight over the powers of the
Antiquities Act, a century-old law that allows presidents to create
national monuments without Congress, but which Trump has said
was abused by past administrations. 28 OCT 2017. BLUFF, UNITED STATES. REUTERS/ANDREW CULLEN

Weeks before leaving office, former
President Barack Obama created the
1.35 million acre Bears Ears monument,
a territory bigger than Delaware named
for its iconic twin buttes, at the behest of
Native American tribes, but over the

In San Juan County, where Bears Ears looms as a
central feature, Trump’s decision to shrink the
monument drew a mixed response.
"It’s a fool’s errand," said Simpson, the café owner in
Bluff. "They are taking actions that will result in years
of litigation and will ultimately fail."

Simpson said he believed the
monument could be a good
thing for the county by
drawing tourists and
outdoorsmen. Since the
monument has become a
political issue, visits to the
area have surged, according
to data from the U.S. Bureau
of Land Management.

A number of groups have promised to
sue the Trump administration as soon as
it takes official action, including the
Navajo Nation – one of the five tribes
that had urged the creation of the
monument in order to preserve Native
American sacred and historic sites.
"We have a complaint drafted," said
Navajo Nation Attorney General Ethel
Branch, who said the area was packed
with tribal pottery, Puebloan
architecture and old Navajo dwellings.
She said the Navajo wrote two letters to
the Trump administration since
September seeking meetings but heard
nothing back. 30 OCT 2017. BLANDING, UNITED STATES. REUTERS/ANDREW CULLEN

Dashelle Holliday, a nurse who lives in
Blanding, some 25 miles north of Bluff,
disagreed. She welcomed Trump’s decision,
saying the monument was too big.
"I’m excited to see a monument that does
contain the small pieces that we need to
protect, and allows us to keep using (the land)
like we’ve been using it," she said.
She, like other opponents of the monument,
worries the monument will hinder local
business, including her family's gravel
company which leases pits on Bears Ears, and
replace them with a service economy for
tourism.
"People here have worked to keep this a small
town with small town values," she said.
Still, she agreed, Trump’s decision will not close
the issue. "I think it’s the battle, not the war,"
she said.

For Chinese couples, wedding photos are not
simply about having a photographer show up

They can be elaborate affairs involving costumes,
make-up artists, camera assistants and trips
overseas, sometimes even underwater, and take up
as much as a quarter of the wedding budget.
"You can go to a studio to have pre-wedding
pictures taken and you can pretend to be anywhere,
they have so many backdrops," said Song, 28, who
will be tying the knot with his 24-year-old bride in
China's northeastern city of Harbin.

Of course, it's better if you can actually go there, said

"I went to university in Newcastle, so England has always

Living in a globally connected world and given rising
incomes, young Chinese are increasingly looking to impress
with lavish weddings that mix traditional elements and
Western trends, complete with a walk down the aisle,
bridesmaids, ushers and even a hired wedding planner.
Revenue for China's wedding services industry was
estimated to have reached $24.6 billion in 2016, data
provider IBISWorld said in a report this year. That covered
car rentals, restaurant decorations, photography and
videography, among others.

This is what a grass-roots campaign looks like in a country where politics has always
been dominated by big spending, corrupt politicians.
First of all, almost nobody calls Maria de Jesus Patricio by her name. Everyone knows
the Nahua indigenous woman by her nickname, MariChuy.
She has never worn a power suit or heels, but rather always appears in an embroidered
indigenous blouse and pants or skirt. She has no political machine, unless you count the rag-tag
army of ski-masked Zapatista rebels who have pledged their support to her in the southern
state of Chiapas. She’s unlikely to win Mexico’s presidency, or even get on the ballot, yet her
campaign has nonetheless generated an unusual amount of enthusiasm.

Supporters from dozens of left-leaning groups in the urban sprawl of Mexico
City organize coffee klatches, small concerts and neighborhood walk-
arounds for the uphill battle to sign up the 866,000 voters needed by Feb.
12 to get her on next July’s presidential ballot as an independent candidate.
In the first week of gathering signatures, Margarita Zavala — the wife of
former President Felipe Calderon and a well-known political figure in her
own right — got the highest number of signatures, at 13,033. But second
place was a surprise: Patricio, who has no electoral machine and was
essentially unknown until she was named the candidate of the National
Indigenous Congress last May, gathered 4,734 signatures. That was higher
than a major state governor, a former legislator and 44 others trying to get
on the ballot.

What’s more, her backers say, she is handicapped by the fact that electoral
officials use a smartphone app to record signatures, making participation
difficult or impossible for many poor people in remote, indigenous regions with
poor cellphone coverage.
Patricio is not even called a candidate. She is always referred to as “the
spokeswoman” for the Indigenous Governance Council, an outgrowth of the
Zapatistas, who staged a brief armed uprising in 1994 for greater indigenous
rights, and other activist groups. Mexico has about 6 million speakers of
indigenous languages and about 4 million others are considered indigenous due
to their communities or families.

Many of Mexico’s voiceless, impoverished indigenous people see Patricio as a
way to assert their own voice in politics in a country where they have long
voted in blocs, controlled by local leaders who trade their support to the ruling
party. The Zapatistas urged their supporters to stay out of electoral politics in
2006 — something that may have cost the leftist candidate the presidency in
that contest — but now they have apparently changed their minds. Patricio
would be the first candidate formally running on behalf of indigenous people.
“We are not looking for power,” said Chiapas activist Lucia Guzman Gomez, who
participated in Patricio’s campaign tour through Chiapas. “We are looking for a
space to participate as human beings, as indigenous people.”

Some critics argue that the whole system of independent candidates, in place
for the first time in this presidential race, will wind up helping the ruling party by
fragmenting the opposition vote. The governing Institutional Revolutionary Party
hasn’t achieved 50 percent in a presidential race in at least three decades and
has depended on a divided opposition.
Still, thousands of Zapatistas militia members and supporters turn out to cheer
Patricio at campaign stops in Chiapas.
But it is not just the indigenous she looks to for support.

“Now is the time to look toward our communities, and look toward our
brothers,” Patricio said at a rally in October in the Zapatista stronghold of
Guadalupe Tepeyac, Chiapas. “What we are suffering, they are suffering, too,
even if they are of a different color or think differently than we do.”
“We have to unite our pain and our rage,” said Patricio, a traditional healer
from the western state of Jalisco. “We have to unite with the people of civic
groups who live in the cities. They are suffering, too.”
Her campaign speeches rail against the capitalist system, in line with the
indigenous council’s campaign platform, which calls for an “anti-capitalist and
honest” government. “We don’t seek to administer power; we seek to
dismantle it,” the group says.
